ABOUT PRACTICE OPPORTUNITY:
Each year, we bring together over 500 CMCC students, faculty, chiropractors, and industry vendors to an extraordinary networking event. Practice OpportUnity is the ideal venue to connect with a valuable demographic of the next generation of chiropractors.
Those in attendance include 200 students from the Year IV Class, graduating in June 2025, as it is mandatory for them to attend. Students from Years I-III also attend to begin creating bonds and building knowledge of their chosen profession.
We are excited to bring the conference to a wide audience again this year as we are offering a hybrid event for CHIROPRACTORS across Canada and the world!
WHAT DOES GOING HYBRID MEAN?
We will be offering our in-person event on Wednesday, February 12, 2025 - All sponsors, vendors, and chiropractors are welcome to attend! Please note, we will not be offering pipe and drapes, and electricity will be on a first come first serve basis.
CHIROPRACTORS ONLY: for those who are not able to attend the in-person event, or want to attend BOTH events, we are hosting a virtual event as well on Wednesday, February 26 & Thursday, February 27, 2025 from 11:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. ET! We will be hosting this event on two days to ensure that all Year IV clinic rotations can attend at least one of the days. We will be using the same virtual platform (vFairs) that we have used since 2021. Our virtual booths are easy to build, with step-by-step guidelines along the way. They offer text chat, video chat, post documents, videos, catalogs, job opportunities with easy ‘apply now’ button, search student profiles, and much more!
